Safe Gun Storage Act – Key points
- Gun owners must store firearms locked so they’re inaccessible to children under 18, prohibited persons, or people at risk of self-harm or harming others (home, car, or any place you leave a gun).
- Violations can bring civil fines up to about $10,000, with more serious penalties if an unsecured gun is accessed and someone is injured or killed.
- Owners must report lost or stolen firearms within 48 hours of discovering they’re missing (shortened from 72 hours).
